Timecode CD Download - Version 0.0.2

The timecode version 0.0.2 fixes a potential issue with CD decks from certain manufacturers.



With these CD decks, the scope panel in Traktor displayed "Skipping" with the original timecode even while the CD played normally. This will not happen with the updated timecode version 0.0.2 anymore.



Please burn the included WAV-Files as a standard Audio-CD with a zero pause between all tracks.

would this fix the cue thingie as well?

 

One user has tested this and it didn't resolve the cueing issue. I'm discussing it further in that thread.

 

i'm looking into this right now. lets hope it fixes the issue with my stanton decks.

 

Actually it would be good if we could post which cd decks it solved the skipping issue with.

Please post when you confirm it's resolved.

 

IT WORKS! it works on the stanton c.324's. i have had this issue from the moment i got my 324's and stanton was just a pain to deal with. i basically had given up and just used my mixer and laptop but now i can actually use all of my equipment. thank you Native Instruments!

 

That's good to hear it works, what about the cue function?

 

i don't really use the cue function all that much but i will try it later and respond. as for now i need to get back to organizing waaay too much music.

 

I tested this out on both my cdj-100s and I can tell you that now they have a new life.

With the old TC the tracks skipped 2 sec after I pressed play now it's gone. Cueing is on point

I had bitterness for along time with NI over their cdtc because all my cd decks had issues from the first day I bought it over 2 years ago.

CDJ-100s Good
DN-S3500 Good (skips when I scratch due to cue slip from the player)
DN-S1200 Good (I don't need tc for these deck but tried it for the hell of it)

Great job, now I can start thinking about bringing TSP out to bars and clubs.

 

No (cdj 800)

 

notice these files aren't normalised. surely it would be better to do that?

 

@ Diogo_semedo,

Please see this thread, http://www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101326

 

Changing the tonal quality and dynamic range of the Timecode MAY have a negative effect on your control. I suggest using the timecode as-is. I'm absolutely certain that if normalization was intended for the files it would have been done.

Remember this is not a human ear trying to improve sound color, this is an electronic device using a strict set of rules to convert an analog signal into a digital signal for temporal positioning. Unless you like playing timecode to your punters and they like critiquing the color and tonal quality of various timecode screeches, I would say leave it alone and get on with more the important task of using it to make "da wikky-wik go good on da roundy round cd machine thingies".

 

i tested the cue button on the C.324'S and it was still off. the rest works great though and i am very happy.

 

Denon dn-s3700 ok when playing,will still say skipping when scratching which i guess is normal?
Don't know about the cue issue since i never use cue,i play them like turntables.

 

Great to hear that CDJ100 will work.

Just wanted to know if the new timecode is backwards compatible.

I use 3.4.1 + scratch for work, since i find Traktor Pro full of unacceptable bugs and lacking proper keylock. Can i use the new timecodes with it?

 

Lads im new here and I have a problem connecting my CDJ 800's TO TSP. Only one CDJ was working properly. I could only Scratch with one deck the other wouldnt scratch or if I try to spin the track back with the jog wheel It doesnt work.

Any help would be much appreciated

 

I have a dns 3500
If I have the key lock activated its impossible to cue right

 

You cannot use keylock on your cdj when using timecode cd's. It messes with the timecode and it will not track properly.

Use the keylock in Traktor.

 

works perfect with the CDI-500 from American Audio. Before the skippings was a pain in the ears; now its perfect
